WATCH MUNDINE VS HORN LIVE ON BIG SCREENS PPV FIGHT 2018
WATCH MUNDINE VS HORN LIVE ON BIG SCREENS PPV FIGHT 2018
Australian boxing takes centre stage this week as former welterweight champion Jeff Horn squares off against national icon Anthony Mundine. Dubbed the ‘River City Rumble’ it’s all or nothing as the new-era of Australian boxing takes on the pedigree of the past in a bout that’s sure to go down in the nation’s sporting history.
Horn, the former WBO welterweight champion, is coming off his comprehensive defeat to American Terrence Crawford having catapulted through the sport’s ranks with his historic 2017 victory over boxing legend Manny Pacquiao. Mundine meanwhile comes into the fight off a win earlier this year over Tommy Browne, the 43-year-old dominating his opponent by way of KO.
As usual with any Mundine event, the pre-fight antics have been in full gear with the veteran dancing around the meekly mannered Horn. If there were any fears Mundine was only showing up for the paycheque he did his best to put them to rest in the pre-fight press conference, going off in a trademark tirade.
“They’re all watching. They’re all watching me, baby. I’m the show, you know what I mean?” he said.
“I’m the show, I’m the main attraction. He’s boring. He’s like watching paint dry.
“I’m the character. I’m the personality. I’m the man that transcends sport, you know what I mean? That’s me!
“And you want to see the legacy of that on Friday night.
“I’m gonna put on a great performance and prove, out with the old generation, in with the new, baby.”
